Eminem Pranks Fans With April Fool's Day Album Announcement

It's been four years since Eminem's last LP, and he pranked fans with an album announcement trailer to celebrate April Fools' Day. Slim Shady released a trailer on Monday (April 1) originally soundtracked by “Crack A Bottle” and filled with comments from fans begging him to drop his next album.

Unfortunately, the Detroit legend leaned on April Fool's Day and took it back to his neglected Inexperienced debut album in 1996, which never touched the Billboard 200 charts.

“The highly anticipated next studio album returns to where it all began. Infinite, but now it's even more infinite,” a cinematic narrator said in the explosive blob-filled clip. “Out today.”

However, all hope is not lost for an Eminem album, as Dr. Dre revealed that Em plans to release an album later this year.

“Let me tell you something, let me explain something to you right now: Eminem is working on his own album coming out this year,” Dre said during an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! last month. “And I actually talked to him and he said it's okay to make this announcement here on this show. So an album comes out, I have songs on it and it's fire. I'm actually going to listen to the whole album for the first time tomorrow.”

The West Coast legend continued:[Eminem] he keeps his music close to his chest so I haven't heard it all. I haven't even listened to everything I've done in full, but I'm going to listen to it and there's an album coming out this year.”

Eminem's untitled 12th studio album will serve as 2020's follow-up Music to be murdered bywhich was a surprise hit in January of that year and debuted atop the Billboard 200. The LP featured guest appearances from Ed Sheeran, Juice WRLD, Q-Tip, Anderson .Paak and more.
